This is not what the first Latina senator should be doing 🫠

[Senator Cortez Masto @SenCortezMasto]

When I visited our southern border, I heard from Border Patrol about how effective joint operations centers are for combatting transnational crime. I introduced a bill to expand these programs and I’ll keep working to support local law enforcement and ensure our border is secure.

[PLAN @PLANevada]

Karol shares her feelings around the term ‘Dreamer’

[PLAN @PLANevada]

“Dreamers is a stereotype. Dreamers are seen as young students while undocumented are portrayed as taking jobs and terrorists” shares Mtisunge while describing her and her communities experience

[PLAN @PLANevada]

“The term is also undocumented is wrong, we all have birth certificates and identifications from our home countries” immigrants don’t all fit into one category and the current narrative puts labels on who does and doesn’t deserve citizenship.

[UndocuCouncil @UndocuCouncil]

Mtisunge shares how they are blocked from accessing basic needs and funding for the ventures due to their immigration status therefore not being allowed to truly dream

[M ☽ @_mariaitzel]

To me EO’s are not just Reps they’re people who are supposed to fight for me and my community. My community wants citizenship not parole.

[Joseline @__joselineee__]

Just to be clear it’s not enough to “support immigration” myself and our communities think that parole is not enough and we want to see ALL of our representatives say they will fight for Citizenship through registry #citizenshipNOW
